Thoughts about chapter 24- Shri Sai Satcharitra

Shri Sai Satcharitra
Chapter XXIV
Baba's Wit and humour - Chanak Leela - (1) Hemadpant (2) Sudama (3) Anna Chinchanikar vs. Mavsibai.
Preliminary
To say that, we shall state such and such in the next or this Chapter, is a sort of egoism. Unless, we surrender our ego to the feet of our Sad-guru, we will not succeed in our undertaking. If we become egoless, then our success is assured.

By worshipping Sai Baba, we attain both the objects, worldly and spiritual, and are fixed in our true Nature, and get peace and happiness. Therefore, those who want to gain their welfare, should respectfully hear Sai Baba's Leelas or stories and meditate on them. If they do this, they will easily attain the object of their life and get Bliss.

Generally, all people like wit and humour, but they do not like that jokes should be cut at their expense. But Baba's method was peculiar; when it was accompained with gestures, it was very interesting and instructive, and the people, therefore, did not mind, if they were held up to the ridicule. Hemadpant gives his own instance below.

Chanak-Leela
In Shirdi, bazar was held every Sunday, and people from the neighbouring villages came there, erected booths and stalls on the street, and sold their wares and commodities. Every noon, the Masjid was crowded more or less; but on Sunday, it was crowded to suffocation. On one such Sunday, Hemadpant sat in front of Baba, shampooing His Legs and muttering God's name. Shama was on Baba's left, Vamanrao to His right - Shriman Booty and Kakasaheb Dixit and others were also present there. Then Shama laughed and said to Annasaheb - "See that some grains seem to have stuck to the sleeve of your coat". So saying he touched the sleeve and found that there were some grains. Hemadpant straightened his left fore-arm to see what the matter was, when to the the surprise of all, some grains of gram come rolling down and were picked up by the people who were sitting there.

This incident furnished a subject-matter for joke. Everybody present began to wonder and said something or other as to how the grains found their way into the sleeve of the coat and lodged there so long. Hemadpant also could not guess how they found an entrance and stayed there. When nobody could give any satisfactory explanation in this matter, and everybody was wondering about this mystery, Baba said as follows :-

Baba - "This fellow (Annasaheb) has got the bad habit of eating alone. Today is a bazar-day and he was here chewing grams. I know his habit and these grams are a proof of it. What wonder is there is this matter?"
Hemadpant - "Baba, I never know of eating things alone; then why do you thrust this bad habit on me? I have never yet seen Shirdi bazar. I never went to the bazar today, then how could I buy grams, and how could I eat them if I had not bought them? I never eat anything unless I share it with others present near me".
Baba - "It is true that you give to the persons present; but if none be near-by, what could you or I do But do you remember Me before eating? Am I not always with you? Then do you offer Me anything before you eat?"

Moral
Let us mark and note carefully, what Baba has taught us, by this incident. He has advised us that before the senses, mind and intellect enjoy their objects, he should first be remembered, and if this be done, it is in a way an offering to Him. The senses etc. can never remain without their objects, but if those objects are first offered to the Guru, the attachment for them will naturally vanish. In this way, all the Vrittis (thoughts) regarding Desire, Anger, Avarice etc. should first be offered and directed to the Guru and if this practice be followed, the Lord will help you in eradicating all the Vrittis. When before enjoyment of the objects, you think that Baba is close by, the question whether the object is fit to be enjoyed or not will at once arise. Then the object that is not fit to be enjoyed will be shunned and in this way our vicious habits or vices will disappear and our character will improve. Then love for the Guru will grow and pure knowledge will sprout up. When this knowledge grows, the bondage of body - consciousness (we are the body) will snap and our intellect will be merged in spirit-consciousness (we are the spirit). Then we shall get Bliss and contentment. There is no difference between Guru and God. He who sees any difference in them, sees God nowhere. So leaving aside all ideas of difference, we should regard Guru and God as one, and if we serve our Guru as stated above, Lord (God) will be certainly pleased and purifying our minds He will give us self-realisation. To put the matter in a nut-shell, we should not enjoy any object with our senses etc. without first remembering our Guru. When the mind is trained in this way, we will be always reminded of Baba, and our meditation on Baba will grow apace. The Sagun Form of Baba will ever be before our eyes and then devotion, non-attachment and salvation will all be ours. When Baba's Form is thus fixed before our mental vision, we forget hunger, thirst, and this samsar; the consciousness of worldly pleasures will disappear and our mind shall attain peace and happiness.

Sudama's Story
When the above story was being narrated, Hemadpant was reminded of similar story of Sudama, which illustrates the same principle and, therefore, it is given here.
Shri Krishna and His elder brother, Balarama, were living with a co-student, named Sudama, in the ashram of their Guru, Sandipani. Once Krishna and Balarama were sent to the forest for bringing fuel. Then the wife of Sandipani sent also Sudama for the same purpose with some quantity of grams for the three. When Krishna met Sudama in the forest, he said to him - "Dada, I want water as I am thirsty". Sudama replied - "No water should be drunk on an empty stomach, so it is better to rest a while". He did not say that he had got grams with him and that He should take some. As Krishna was tired, He lay down for rest on the lap of Sudama and was snoring. Seeing this, Sudama took out the grams and began to eat. Then Krishna suddenly asked him - "Dada, what are you eating, whence is the sound?". He replied - "What is there to eat? I am shivering with cold and my teeth are chattering. I can't even repeat distinctly Vishnu-Sahasra-Nama". Hearing this, the Omniscient Krishna said - "I just dreamt a dream, in which I saw a man, eating things of another, and when asked about this, he said - "What earth (dust) should he eat?", meaning thereby that he had nothing to eat? The other man said - "Let it be so". Dada, this is only a dream. I know that you won't eat anything without Me; under the influence of the dream I asked you what you were eating?" If Sudama had known a bit of the Omniscient, Shri Krishna and His Leelas, he would not have acted, as he did. Therefore, he had to suffer for what he did. Though he was a chum of Shri Krishna he had to pass his later life in utter poverty. But when he later offered Krishna a handful of parched rice, earned by his wife with her own labour, Krishna was pleased and gave him a golden city to enjoy. This story should be remembered by those who have the habit of eating things alone without partaking them with others.

The Shruti also emphasizes this lesson, and asks us to offer things first to God and then enjoy them after they are renounced by Him. Baba also has taught us the same lesson in His inimitable and humorous way.

Anna Chinchanikar vs. Mavsibai
Hemadpant, now describes another witty incident, in which Baba played a peace-maker's part. There was one devotee by name Damodar Ghanashyama Babare alias Anna Chinchanikar. He was simple, rough and straightforward. He cared for nobody, always spoke plainly and carried all dealings in cash. Though he looked outwardly harsh and uncompromising, he was good natured and guileless. So Sai Baba loved him. One day, like others serving Baba in their own way, this Anna was, one noon standing prone and was shampooing the left arm of Baba, which rested on the kathada (railing). On the right side, one old widow named Venubai Koujalgi whom Baba called mother and all others Mavsibai, was serving Baba in her own way. This Mavsibai was an elderly woman of pure heart. She clasped the fingers of both her hands round the trunk of Baba and was at this time kneading Baba's abdomen. She did this so forcibly that Baba's back and abdomen became flat (one) and Baba moved from side to side. Anna on the other side was steady, but Mavsibai's face moved up and down with her strokes. Once it so happened that her face came very close to Anna's. Being of a witty disposition she remarked - "Oh, this Anna is a lewd (bad) fellow, he wants to kiss me. Even being so old with grey hair he feels no shame in kissing me." These words enraged Anna and he pulled up his sleeves and said - "You say that I am an old bad fellow, am I quite a fool? It is you that have picked up a quarrel and are quarreling with me". All the persons, present there were enjoying this encounter between them. Baba Who loved both of them equally and wanted to pacify them, managed the affair very skillfully. Lovingly He said - "Oh Anna, why are you unnecessarily raising this hue and cry? I do not understand what harm or impropriety is there, when the mother is kissed?" Hearing these words of Baba, both of them were satisfied and all the persons laughed merrily and enjoyed Baba's wit to their heart's content.

Baba's Characteristics -- His Dependency on Bhaktas
Baba allowed His devotees to serve Him in their own way, and did not like any other persons interfering in this. To quote an instance, the same Mavsibai was on another occasion, kneading Baba's abdomen. Seeing the fury and force used by her, all the other devotees felt nervous and anxious. They said, "Oh mother, be more considerate and moderate, otherwise you will break Baba's arteries and nerves". At this Baba got up at once from His seat, dashed His satka on the ground. He got enraged and His eyes became red like a live charcoal. None dared to stand before or face Baba. Then He took hold of one end of the Satka with both hands and pressed it in the hollow of his abdomen. The other end He fixed to the post and began to press His abdomen against it. The satka which was about two or three feet in length seemed all to go into the abdomen and the people feared that the abdomen would be ruptured in a short time. The post was fixed and immovable and Baba began to go closer and closer to it and clasped the post firmly. Every moment the rupture was expected, and they were all dismayed, did not know what to do, and stood dumb with wonder and fear. Baba suffered this ordeal for the sake of His Bhakta. The other devotees wanted only to give a hint to the Mavsibai to be moderate in her service and not cause any trouble or pain to Baba. This they did with good intention, but Baba did not brook even this. They were surprised to see that their well-intentioned effort had resulted in this catastrophe; and they could do nothing but to wait and see. Fortunately, Baba's rage soon cooled down. He left the satka and resumed His seat. From this time onward, the devotees took the lesson that they should not meddle with anybody but allow him to serve Baba as the chooses, as He was capable to gauge the merits and worth of the service rendered unto Him.
Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all

Thoughts about the chapter
This chapter again has important jewels which we need to implement in our day to day life.
We learn from the episode of chana leela, that baba is always with us and we need to offer him what ever we are eating. If we can really think, why only eating, when baba is always with us, we need to share with him every act of ours with him, because he is not separately, he is with us from being within us. So in a way, if we start experiencing this fact, then we will never do any wrong act, because we cant do any such as baba is always with us and watching our actions.  Our behaviour will be right, and our attitude and character will reflect the words of baba. This is what we need to understand, realise and implement it in our daily life.
From the episode of mavisi bai, we need to carefully watch the action of  baba. How baba handled the situation and solved without hurting anyone. Also this episode shows the humor which baba exhibited.  We need to have humor in life and make the lives of people around us to be happier. Even if someone is blaming us, how we need to handle that situation is clearly etched out in this episode, when two people are blaming each other, we shouldnt put more oil in between them so that the flames of  hatred get rised between them, rather we need to pour the water of love and humor between them, so that neither is hurt and they get easily adjusted without having gap between them.
In the second episode of mavisi bai, when other devotees were worried about the intensity with which mavisi bai was doing service, baba didnt agreed for others interfering her service. Only baba knows who is what, we should never give suggestions for people doing service towards baba. Baba knows their inner feelings and thoughts. We should respect their feelings, and also there is a danger that the ego rises in us that we know better than baba, rather than subsiding the ego and accepting the fact that baba knows better than us , not only about us but about everyone. so the simple truth is baba makes the things move, and if someone is getting a thought to do service in a form, we should not  interfere and let them allow to do it accordingly how baba reflected it in their hearts.

Thoughts about Chapter 25- Shri Sai Satcharitra

Sri Sai Satcharitra
Chapter XXV
Damu Anna Kasar of Ahmednagar - (1) Speculations - (2) Amra-Leela
Preliminary
We begin this Chapter with a bow with all our eight limbs to Sai Baba, Who is an ocean of mercy, the God incarnate, who is Para-Brahman and the great Yogeshwara (Lord of Yoga). Victory be unto Sai Baba, Who is the crest-jewel of the Saints, who is the home of all auspicious things, who is our Atmaram (Dear Self), and who is the able refuge of the devotees. We prostrate ourselves before Him, Who has attained the aim and end of life.
Sai Baba is always full of mercy. What is wanted on our part is whole-hearted devotion to Him. When a devotee has got firm faith and devotion, his wishes are soon fulfilled. When the desire arose in the mind of Hemadpant to write the life and Leelas of Sai Baba, He immediately got it written by him. When the order 'to keep the memos' was given, Hemadpant was inspired and his intellect got strength and boldness to undertake and finish the work. He was not, he say, qualified to write the work, but the gracious blessings of Baba enabled him to complete the undertaking; and thus you have this Satcharita which is a Somakant jewel, from which nectar in the form of Sai Leelas oozes out for the readers to drink to their hearts' content.

Whenever, a devotee had complete and whole-hearted devotion to Sai Baba, all his calamities and dangers were warded off and his welfare attended to by Baba. The story of Damodar Savalaram Resane, Kasar of Ahmednagar (now of Poona) alias Damu Anna illustrating the above statement, is given below.

Damu Anna
The readers are aware that a mention of this gentleman was made in the 6th Chapter, regarding the celebration of Rama-Navami festival in Shirdi. He went to Shirdi about the year 1895, when the Rama-Navami Utsava-celebration began and from that time he has been providing an ornamental flag for that occasion every year. He also feeds the poor and the fakirs that come there for the festival.

His Speculations : (1) Cotton
A Bombay friend of Damu Anna wrote to him, that they should do some cotton-speculation business in partnership which would bring them about two lakhs of rupees as profit. (Damu Anna says in his statement made about the year 1936 to Mr. B.V.Narasimha Swami that the proposal about speculating at Bombay in cotton was from a broker who was not to be a partner, and that he (Damu Anna) was to be the sole adventurer: - vide P.75 of the Devotees' Experiences Part II). The broker wrote that the business was good and involved no risks and that the opportunity should not be lost. Damu Anna was oscillating in his mind. He could not at once determine to venture in the speculation. He thought about this and as he was a devotee of Baba, he wrote a detailed letter to Shama giving all the facts and requested him to consult Baba and take His advice in the matter. Shama got the letter next day and when he came with it at noon to the Masjid and placed it before Baba. He asked Shama what the matter was, and what the paper (letter) was about. He replied that Damu Anna of Nagar wanted to consult Him about something. Then Baba said - "What does he write, and what does he plan? It seems that he wants to catch the sky and that he is not content with what God has given him; read his letter". Shama than said, "The letter contains what you have just said now. Oh, Deva you sit here calm and composed and agitate the devotees and when they get restless, you draw them here, some in person and others through letters. If you know the contents of the letter, why do you then press me to read it?" Baba said - "Oh Shama, read it please. I speak at random and who believes Me."

Then Shama read the letter and Baba heard it attentively and said feelingly - "The Shet (Damu Anna) has gone mad; write to him in reply that nothing is wanting in his house. Let him be content with the half loaf (bread) he has now and let him not bother himself about lakhs." Shama sent the reply which Damu Anna was anxiously waiting for. Reading it, he found that all his hopes and prospects about lacs of rupees as profit were dashed to the ground. He thought that he had done a mistake in consulting Baba. But as Shama had hinted in the reply that there was always much difference in seeing and hearing and that, therefore, he should come to Shirdi personally and see Baba. He thought it advisable to go to Shirdi and consult Baba personally about the affair. So he went to Shirdi, saw Baba, prostrated himself before Him and sat shampooing His legs. He had no courage to ask Baba openly about the speculation, but he thought in his mind, that it would be better if some share in the business should be assigned to Baba and said in his mind, that if Baba were to help him in this transaction, he would surrender some share of profits to Him. Damu Anna was thus thinking secretly in his mind, but nothing was veiled from Baba; everything past, present and future were clear to Him as an Amalaka fruit in hand. A child wants sweets, but its mother gives bitter pills; the former spoil its health, while the latter improve it. So the mother looking to the welfare of her infant, coaxes it and gives it bitter pills. Baba, kind mother as He was, knew the present and future prospects of His devotees, and therefore reading Damu Anna's mind, He openly spoke to him - "Bapu, I do not want to be entangled in any such wordly things (sharing profits)." Seeing Baba's disapproval Damu Anna dropped the enterprise.

(2) Grain-Dealing
Then he thought of trading in grain, rice, wheat and other groceries. Baba read also this thought and said to him, "You will be buying at five seers and selling at seven seers a rupee". So this business was also given up. The rice in the prices of grains was kept up for some time, and Baba's prophecy seemed to be falsified, but in a month or two there was abundant rain everywhere and the prices suddenly fell down; and, therefore, those who stored grains suffered a severe loss. Damu Anna was saved from this fate. Needless to say that the cotton speculation which was conducted by the broker with the help of another merchant also collapsed with a severe loss to the adventurers. After seeing that Baba had saved him from two severe losses in cotton and grain speculations, Damu Anna's faith in Baba grew strong and he remained a true devotee of Baba till His passing away and even now.

Amra-Leela (Mango miracle)
Once a parcel of about 300 good mangoes was received at Shirdi. It was sent from Goa by one Mamlatdar named Rale to Sai Baba in the name of Shama. When it was opened, all the mangoes were found to be in a good condition. They were given in Shama's charge and only four were retained and placed in the kolamba (pot) by Baba. He said that, "These four fruits are for Damu Anna, let them lie there".

This Damu Anna had three wives. According to his statement mentioned above, he had not three but two wives only. He had no issue. He consulted many astrologers and himself studied astrology to some extent and found that as there was a 'papi' (inauspicious) planet in his horoscope, there was no prospect of any issue to him in this life. But he had great faith in Baba. When he went to Shirdi, two hours after the receipt of the mango parcel, for worshipping Baba, He said, "Though other people are looking for the mangoes, they are Dammya's. He whose they are, should 'eat and die'." Damu Anna on hearing these words was first shocked, but on Mhalsapati (a prominent Shirdi devotee) explaining to him that death meant the death of the little self or ego, and to have it kill at Baba's Feet was a blessing, he said that he would accept the fruits and eat them. But Baba said to him. "Do not eat yourself, but give them to your junior wife. This Amra-Leela (mango miracle of 4 mangoes) will give her four sons and four daughters". This was done and ultimately in due course it was found Baba's words turned out true and not those of the astrologers.

Baba's speech established its efficacy or greatness while He was living in the flesh, but wonder of wonders! It did the same even after His passing away. Baba said - "Believe Me, though I pass away, My bones in My tomb will give you hope and confidence. Not only Myself but My tomb would be speaking, moving and communicating with those who would surrender themselves whole-heartedly to Me. Do not be anxious that I would be absent from you. You will hear My bones speaking and discussing your welfare. But remember Me always, believe in Me heart and soul and then you will be most benefited".

Prayer
Hemadpant closes this Chapter with a prayer. "Oh Sai Sad-guru, the wish fulfilling tree of the Bhaktas, Let us never forget and lose sight of Your Feet; we have been troubled with the ins and outs (births and deaths) in this samsar; now free us from this cycle of births and deaths. Restrain us from the outgoing of our senses to their objects and introvert us and bring us face to face with the Atma (Self). As long as this outgoing tendency of the senses and the mind is not checked, there is no prospect of self-realisation. Neither son, nor wife nor friend will be of any use in the end. It is only You, Who will give us salvation and happiness. Destroy completely our tendency for discussions and other evil matters, let out tongue get a passion for chanting Your name. Drive out our thoughts, good or otherwise and make us forget our bodies and houses, and do away with our egoism. Make us ever remember Your name and forget all other things. Remove the restlessness of our mind, and make it steady and calm. If you just clasp us, the darkness of night of our ignorance will vanish and we shall live happily in Your light. That You made us drink the nectar of Your Leelas and awakened us from our slumber is due to Your grace and our store of merits in past births".

Note :- In this connection the following extract from Damu Anna's statement mentioned above, is worth perusal, (Page 76).

"Once when I sat at His Feet along with many others, I had two questions in my mind and He gave answers to both.
(1) There are so many crowding to Sai Baba. Do they all get benefit from Him?
To this, He replied orally - "Look at the mango tree in blossom. If all the flowers brought fruit, what a splendid crop it would be. But do they? Most fall off (either as flowers or as unripe fruits) by wind etc. Very few remain".

(2) The second question was about myself. If Baba were to pass away, how hopelessly adrift I would be and how am I to fare then? To this Baba answered that He would be with me when and wherever I thought of Him. That promise He had kept up before 1918 and has been keeping up after 1918. He is still with me. He is still guiding me. This was about 1910-11, when brothers separated from me and my sister died, and there was a theft and police enquiry, all of which incidents upset me very much.

When my sister died, my mind was much upset. I did not care for life and enjoyments. When I went to Baba, He pacified me with His Upadesh and made me eat a feast of Pooran Poli at Appa Kulkarni's house and get pasted with sandal.

There was a theft in my house. A thirty year's friend of mine stole my wife's jewel-box, including her auspicious Nathi (nose-ring). I wept before Baba's photo. The next day, the man returned the jewel-box and prayed for pardon.
Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all



Thoughts about the chapter:
The chapter begins with hemadpant sketching out the qualities of baba in protecting his devotees, his mercy towards warding off the dangers falling on his devotees. The only quality a devotee should develop is firm faith towards baba, once this is achieved, then baba will take care of the devotee. Hemadpant gives his own example how baba blessed him and helped him in writing the satcharitra, when he got the idea to write about the leelas of baba. Also hemadpant gives the various instances of damu anna's life which shows the mercy of baba towards his devotees.

From the incidents of damu anna, we can learn two different dimensions. One how we should react towards the words of baba, and two how baba protects his devotees even in their day to day activities not only their spiritual upliftment. 

From  the cotton business proposal, damu anna couldnt take the decision and asked baba about whether he need to go forward or not. When baba initially said no, and shama suggested that there is a difference between sending a letter and coming personally. He visited baba personally and in his mind, tried to offer a share to baba. Here we need to take a pause, and think-everyone of us do such act, because of the worldly greed and selfishness, we think from our own angle and try to convince baba, rather than placing the faith in words of baba and accepting the words of baba. So baba had to say that he is not interested in such worldy shares. Then, damu anna went with the words of baba and dropped the idea.

Let us think for  a while, What would happened if damu anna thought that baba is not understanding the huge amount which he might earn, and baba is not allowing him to earn such huge amount. Our mind will even go to the extent saying that what baba knows about business, he is just a fakir. And our mind will force us to go forward ignoring the words of baba. Here itself it is the crucial thing, where we need to control our mind, and say to it , dear mind, please shut up, you couldnt take the decision , thats the reason we asked baba, when baba had answered, it means that he knows everything and he had given the answer for our good only.
This is what we need to learn from the incident of damu anna, though initially he listened to his mind, and tried to offer share to baba, seeing the reluctance of baba, he had faith on baba, and dropped the idea. He had controlled his mind and listened to the words of baba. At a later point of time, damu anna realised how baba had really saved him from the loss of that huge amount, which he thought would be earning.

The simple thing, which most of us will do is , when we are unable to take decision and when we are in dilemma, we ask baba, and when baba answers, and if we feel that the answer is not according to our expected answer, we try to conclude that baba doesnt know about this thing, and listen to our mind. And we fall for the danger, then again we rush to baba for rescue. Why to do all such thing, if initially only we control our mind and listened to the words of baba having faith that whatever baba says is for our good, then we will be protected like damu anna.

The second speculation about grain business also shows the same thing, here also damu anna placed faith in baba's words and didnt started that business and in both the instances baba saved damu anna.

Then comes the mango leela- In this episode there are so many dimensions to explore- First one, damu anna himself says that he knows astrology and there is no possibility of having children according to his horoscope, but still he had more faith in baba, than the horoscope, accordingly baba blessed him with children. This shows that once we have faith in baba, no need to consult any horoscopes or astrologers and baba can change the fate of his devotee. When baba wills what can planets do harm to his devotees. The same incident shows that how baba stored the mangoes for damu anna, when baba says that for whom it has been stored, he needs to eat and die. Then Mahalsapati gives explanation, that dying is for the ego, and killing it in the presence of baba is rather a blessing. Baba blessed damu anna saying that his wife will have four sons and four daughters. Later, words of baba were proven correct and the words of astrologers were wrong.
This was true when baba was alive and the words he spoke, but after he left his physical frame also his words are true to till this day. Let us check those divine nectar like words which are true to till this day.

Believe Me, though I pass away, My bones in My tomb will give you hope and confidence. Not only Myself but My tomb would be speaking, moving and communicating with those who would surrender themselves whole-heartedly to Me. Do not be anxious that I would be absent from you. You will hear My bones speaking and discussing your welfare. But remember Me always, believe in Me heart and soul and then you will be most benefited.

Just have a look at those words, those are not just words, they are like the commandments from GOD himself, the assurance he had given that he will protect those who had surrendered whole-heartedly. What is the essence of all those words and assurance, just to simply remember him always. That simple. If we can place him in our heart and follow his words in our daily life, make our behaviour and character reflect his words, then he will protect us in every step of our life. And we can get benefitted in every aspect of our life, not only in spiritual endeavours, but also in worldly endeavours.

The prayer which hemadpant had written is a simple techinque to make baba seat in our heart and always remember him. If one reads daily this prayer, then they can be sure to make their heart pure and have baba inside it.

The ending of the chapter, where baba answered damu anna's two queries are very interesting in various angles.

The first question- so many are visiting baba, and is everyone really getting benefitted. for which baba answered by saying to look at the mango tree in blossom. If all the flowers become fruits, how best yield it would be, but many fall in the stages of flower, unripe fruits. only a few become as fruits. 

So we can compare our lives with the flowers in the blossom. so probably it is the beginning stage, then we need to go to next stage of unripe fruits, then next stage to fruit, and lastly ripe fruit. Baba himself claiming that only few people are coming to the last stage. In a way, we need to have the patience and the faith which baba always emphasises ( shraddha and Saburi). Just by simply going to baba, doesnt get us any benefit. Maybe at the first stage we may get some solutions to our problems, but that is not what really makes us beneficial.

If we want our life boat to sail smoothly in the ocean of this samsara, we need to have faith towards baba and let the time take to make the flower stage to ripen fruit stage. Till such time, we just need to have faith in baba, that he knows better about us than what we know about us, and have patience till we go to next stages. A child cant be born in just 1 day or 1 month, because we want to have a child, it takes 9 months. Similarly just we want to become a ripe fruit from the flower stage is not possible and we need to have patience till the gradual transformation happens of ripening. We should know that baba is the all pervasive and he knows when to give, what to give, how to give. If we study carefully the entire satcharitra and correlate the events, we can understand this principle clearly.

Why satcharitra, one can simply check his own life, the day he/she had come in contact with baba till date, if they have not fallen like the flower or the unripe fruit and stayed with baba  having faith and patience. Then they can correlate the events in their life and they will understand how baba had been protecting them and their families, and how baba is blessing. One might feel that they are not being given what they asked for. Once again let us remember that baba knows what is good for us and he blesses us with what we need not what we ask for. Damu anna speculations are an example for this. Let the mind doesnt play the trick of making us lose baba in an unripe stage. Let by the grace of baba, who ever is reading this stay with baba with faith and patience till he comes to the ripen fruit stage and get benefitted by Baba.

The second question which damu anna asked and baba assured him was quite evident from the aftermath events happened in the life of damu anna, and the statement he had given to Narasimha swami in 1936 clearly shows that the assurance baba had given when he was in flesh is not to be doubted. He still answers those who pray with faith and devotion from his tomb.


This chapter have so many gems and secrets to simply follow words of baba and remember him. Let by the grace of baba, whoever is reading this understand this and get benefitted by baba in their life. May baba bless them and their families. Let they visit the shrine of Shirdi. Let they become the instrument in the hands of baba. Let peace and prosperity bestow on them.

Om Sai Sri Sai Jaya Jaya Sai.

Thoughts about Chapter 23- Shri Sai Satcharitra

Shri Sai Satcharitra
Chapter XXIII
Yoga and Onion - Shama Cured of Snake - Bite - Cholera Ordinance Broken - Ordeal of Guru-Bhakti.
Preliminary
Really this Jiva (human soul) transcends the three qualities, viz. Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, but being deluded by Maya, he forgets his nature which is 'Existence-knowledge-bliss', and thinks that he is the doer and enjoyer and thus entangles himself in endless miseries and does not know the way of deliverance. The only way of deliverance is Loving Devotion towards the Guru's feet. The great Player or Actor Lord Sai has delighted His Bhaktas and transformed them into Himself (His nature).

We regard Sai Baba as an incarnation of God for reasons already stated, but He always said that He was an obedient servant of God. Though an incarnation He showed the people the way, how to behave satisfactorily and carry out the duties of their respective stations (Varnas) in this life. He never emulated others in any way, nor asked others to have something done for Him. For Him, Who saw the Lord in all movable and immovable things of this world, humility was the most proper thing. None He disregarded or disrespected; for He saw Narayan (Lord) in all beings, He never said, "I am God," but that He was a humble servant and He always remembered Him and always uttered - "Allah Malik" (God is the sole proprietor or Owner).
We do not know about the other Saints, how they behave, what they do and eat etc. We only know, that by God's grace they manifest themselves in this world to liberate the ignorant and bound souls. If there be any store of merits on our account, we get a desire in listening to the stories and Leelas of the Saints, otherwise not. Let us now turn to the main stories of this Chapter.

Yoga and Onion
Once it so happened, that a sadhak of Yoga came to Shirdi with Nanasaheb Chandorkar. He had studied all the works on Yoga, including the Yoga-sutras of Patanjali, but had no practical experience. He could not concentrate his mind and attain samadhi even for a short time. He thought that if Sai Baba be pleased with him, He will show him the way to attain samadhi for a long time. With this object in view he came to Shirdi, and when he went to the Masjid he saw Sai Baba eating bread with onion. On seeing this, a thought arose in his mind - `How can this man, eating stale bread with raw onion, solve my difficulties and help me?' Sai Baba read his mind and said to Nanasaheb - "Oh Nana, he who has the power to digest onion, should eat it and none else". Hearing this remark, the yogi was wonder-struck and then he fell at Baba's Feet with complete surrender. With pure and open mind, he asked his difficulties and got their solution from Baba. Thus being satisfied and happy, he left Shirdi with Baba's Udi and blessings.

Shama Cured of Snake-Bite
Before Hemadpant begins the story, he says about the Jiva that it can be very well compared with a parrot, and that they both are bound, the one in the body and the other in a cage. Both think that their present bound state is good for them. It is only when a Helper, i.e., Guru comes and by God's grace opens their eyes and liberates them from their bondage, that their eyes are opened to a greater and larger life, compared to which their former limited life is nothing.

In the last Chapter, it was shown how Baba anticipated the calamity, that was to befall on Mr. Mirikar and rescued him from it. Now let the readers hear a story grander than that. Once Shama was bitten by a poisonous snake. His little finger of the hand was stung and the poison began to spread into the body. The pain was also severe and Shama thought that he would pass off soon. His friends wanted to take him to the God Vitoba, where such cases were often sent, but Shama ran to the Masjid -- to His Vitoba (Sai Baba). When Baba saw him, He began to scold and abuse. He got enraged and said - "Oh vile Bhaturdya (Priest) do not climb up. Beware if you do so" and then roared - "Go, Get away, Come down." Seeing Baba thus red with wrath, Shama was greatly puzzled and disappointed. He thought that the Masjid was his home and Sai Baba his sole Refuge, but if he was driven away like this, where should he go? He lost all hope of life and kept silent. After a time Baba became normal and calm when Shama went up and sat near. Then Baba said to him - "Don't be afraid, don't care a jot, the Merciful Fakir will save you, go and sit quiet at home, don't go out, believe in Me and remain fearless and have no anxeity". Then he was sent home. Immediately afterwards, Baba sent Tatya Patil and Kakasaheb Dixit to him with instructions to the effect, that he should eat what he liked, should move in the home, but should never lie down and sleep. Needless to say that these instructions were acted upon and Shama got all-right in a short time. The only thing to be remembered in this connection is this - the words of Baba (or the five syllabled Mantra, viz, `Go, Get away, Come down') were not addressed to Shama- as it apparently looked - but they were a direct order to the snake and its poison not to go up and circulate through Shama's body. Like others well-versed in Mantrashastra, He had not to use any incantation, charged rice or water etc. His words only were most efficacious in saving the life of Shama.

Any one, hearing this story and other similar ones, will beget firm faith in the Feet of Sai Baba, and the only way to cross the ocean of Maya is to remember ever the Feet of Baba in the heart.

Cholera Epidemic
Once, Cholera was raging virulently in Shirdi. The residents were much frightened and they stopped all communication with the outside people. The panchayat(group along with village head) of the village assembled together and decided upon two ordinances as a remedy to check and put down the Epidemic. They were (1) No fuel-cart should be allowed to come in the village, and (2) No goat should be killed there. If anybody disobeyed these ordinances, they were to be fined by the village-authorities and panchayat. Baba knew that all this was mere superstition, and therefore, He cared two pence for the Cholera-ordinances. While the ordinances were in force, a fuel-cart came there, and wanted to enter the village. Everybody knew that there was dearth of fuel in the village, still the people began to drive away the fuel-cart. Baba came to know of this. He came to the spot and asked the cartman to take the fuel-cart to the Masjid. None dared to raise his voice against this action of Baba. He wanted fuel for His Dhuni and so He purchased it. Like an Agnihotri keeping his sacred fire alive throughout his life, Baba kept His Dhuni ever burning all day and night; and for this He always stocked fuel. Baba's home, i.e. the Masjid was free and open to all. It had no lock and key; and some poor people removed some wood from there for their use. Baba did not grumble about this. Baba saw that the whole universe was pervaded by the Almighty, and so He never bore enmity or ill-will to anybody. Though perfectly detached. He behaved like an ordinary house-holder to set an example to the people.

Ordeal of Guru-Bhakti
Let us now see, how the second Cholera-ordinance fared with Baba. While it was in force, somebody brought a goat to the Masjid. It was weak, old and about to die. At this time Fakir Pir Mohamad of Malegaon alias Bade Baba was near. Sai Baba asked him to behead it with one stroke, and offer it as an oblation. This Bade Baba was much respected by Sai Baba. He always sat on the right hand of Sai Baba. After the chilim (pipe) was first smoked by him, it was then offered to Baba and others. After the dishes were served, at the time of taking meals at noon, Baba respectfully called Bade Baba and made him sit on His left side, and then all partook of food. Baba paid him also daily Rs.50/- out of the amount collected as Dakshina. Baba accompanied him hundred paces whenever he was going away. Such was his position with Baba. But when Baba asked him to behead the goat, he flatly refused, saying "Why it should be killed for nothing?" Then Baba asked Shama to kill it. He went to Radha-Krishna-Mai and brought a knife from her and placed it before Baba. Knowing the purpose for which the knife was taken, she recalled it. Then Shama went to bring another knife, but stayed in the Wada, and did not return soon. Then came the turn of Kakasaheb Dixit. He was 'good gold' no doubt, but had to be tested. Baba asked him to get a knife and kill the goat. He went to Sathe's Wada and returned with a knife. He was ready to kill it at Baba's bidding. He was born in a pure Brahmin family and never in his life knew killing. Though quite averse to do any act of violence, he made himself bold to kill the goat. All the people wondered to see that Bade Baba, a Mohammedan was unwilling to kill it while this pure Brahmin was making preparations to do so. He tightened his dhotar and with a semicircular motion raised his hand with the knife and looked at Baba for the final signal. Baba said - "What are you thinking of? Go on, strike". Then, when the hand was just about to come down, Baba said - "Stop, how cruel you are! Being a Brahmin, you are killing a goat?" Kakasaheb obeyed and kept the knife down and said to baba - "Your nectar like word is law unto us, we do not know any other ordinance. We remember You always, meditate on Your Form and obey You day and night, we do not know or consider whether it is right or wrong to kill, we do not want to reason or discuss things, but implicit and prompt compliance with Guru's orders, is our duty and dharma".

Then Baba said to Kakaseheb, that He would Himself do the offering and killing business. It was settled that the goat should be disposed of near a place called Takkya, where fakirs used to sit. When the goat was being removed to that place, it fell dead on the way.

Hemadpant closes the Chapter with a classification of disciples. He says that they are of three kinds : (1) First or best (2) Second or middling and (3) Third or ordinary. The best kind of disciples are those who guess what their Gurus want and immediately carry it out and serve them without waiting for an order from them. The average disciples are those who carry out the orders of their Masters to a letter, without any delay, and the third kind of disciples are those, who go on postponing the carrying out of their orders and making mistakes at every step.

The disciples should have firm faith, backed up by intelligence and if they and patience to these, their spiritual goal will not be distant. Control of breath -- ingoing and outgoing, or Hath-Yoga or other difficult practices are not at all necessary. When the disciples get the above-mentioned qualities, they become ready for further instructions and the Masters then appear and lead them on, in their spiritual path to perfection.
In the next Chapter we will deal with Baba's interesting wit and humour.

Bow to Shri Sai - Peace be to all

Thoughts about chapter 23
Baba helps them who are sincere and who really surrenders.
In this episode, it is clear and evident that whoever are coming to baba, initially will go with the external appearance of baba and generally doubt whether he is really a great saint. It is a kind of test for baba, and everytime baba passed the test by showing the person some kind of signal that he knows everything. Once the person realises this, and if he is sincere in his approach, definetly baba had shown the path or given solution to their problem. What we learn from this episode is when we dont about baba, maybe we can doubt , but once we believe in baba, we should have absolute faith and be sincere towards baba, then baba will help us in every sphere of our life, not only spiritually but also in our day to day activities.

Baba words are enough, one doesnt require any mantra.
In this episode, it is clear and evident that where normal people approach for the people who use mantra for snake bites, baba doesnt need any special mantra, rather his words will become mantra. Baba saved the life of shama by just commanding the poison not to enter into body, rather get down. He didnt use any mantra, and later asked shama to follow some rule not to go out of home, not to sleep or lie down. Again in this episode, we can see that shama surrendered in full to baba, where other people used to go to vitoba temple, he rushed to masjid in time of calamity, this is a pathway to all of us, that in hour of crisis, it is always better run to baba, rather than to other places. The faithful we are towards baba and if we completely surrender to him, then baba will surely protect us from any sort of crisis, including getting us out of death.

Baba never stopped his routine
In this episode, we can understand that whatever may come, but baba never stopped his routine. Dhuni lit by him, he maintained all through his lifetime, for which he needed logs of wood. When the village authorities given the order, everyone followed them, but baba overruled that order, because he never stopped his routine.  We should learn the same from baba, that once we have some routine, what may happen, we should never stop that routine and fulfill it under any circumstance till we breath our last.

Baba tests his devotees
In this episode, we can see that Baba tests his devotee kaka saheb dixit, by asking him to kill a goat. Kaka saheb says that baba's words are orders for him, and he is not concerned about the right or wrong of the act, and to meditate upon guru, obey his order is his duty. From the dimension of a disciple, we can learn a lot from kakasaheb dixit, how a disciple should have utmost faith on his guru and how one should follow the orders of his guru, without reasoning them for right or wrong. The same episode shows us the dimension that baba didnt followed the order laid by the village panchayat not to kill a goat inside the village. 

Peace  be to all.

Naam - The Boat to cross this ocean of samsara


A thought arised in mind ? Why in kaliyug naam is given more importance.

Searched various resources to find about the importance of Naam. Came to know that in kaliyug, performing rituals, following the daily routines and special routines (nitya and namittika karmas) are becoming difficult for man. Then how can  a man cross this ocean of samasara in this kaliyug, where he is running with time to fulfill all his desires.


In this kaliyug, doing yoga, performing yagna and yaga, is becoming very difficult. Already man has become a slave for his desires. And there are the enemies inside him like kama (desire), krodha (anger), lobha, madha, matsarya which he is unable to win over. Constantly he is getting defeated with these enemies. Then where is the solution for man to cross the ocean of samsara with all the luggage he is carrying along with him unnecessarily. What is the solution for this problem which seems to very big and is a problem for every man.

So looking at scriptures, came to know that to easily cross the ocean of samsara in kaliyug, have to do the naam jap of the lord. In satcharitra also baba encouraged radhakrishna ayi to conduct naam saptah and encouraged everyone to participate in them. After baba maha samadhi, Sri sivanesan swamiji,who devoted his entire life in the seva of  Baba  gave the "om sai sri sai jaya jaya sai" naam to the devotees, also encouraged to conduct naam saptah at every sai temple. He used to encourage devotees to frequently conduct naam saptaha and asked everyone to participate in it.


So the easiest path in kaliyug to cross the ocean of samsara, to win over the internal enemies is to do naam jap. So there had been a few thoughts that why not creatively do naam jap and get more benefitted.
We have so many samskaras ( tendencies or vasanas) accumulated in us over many births. Because of these vasanas only we are bound to our actions which we perform, and it is very difficult to remove these vasanas by ourselves until and unless there is grace of guru or god on us. In this scenario, if we can think the naam as a river flowing which cleanse our vasanas, or like a fire which can burn out our vasanas, or like a vayu which can blow out our vasanas,or like a sun in aakash which can dry out our vasanas, or like the mother earth which will bear our mistakes and bless us with food. The naam can be visualised accordingly and feel internally that our tendencies are being cleansed by the grace of sainath, then slowly our mind will be trained in such a way where we leave ample of room for our sadguru sainath to sit and guide us from our inner heart. 

 Visualising naam as agni which can burn out the inner samaskaras which have been accumulated from so many previous births.

Presently we have filled our heart with so many desires, and already our internal enemies are sitting there , and the vasanas accumulated alongwith us in so many births. Then where is the room we have left out for sainath. We need to clean our heart from all these dirt, then lord sainath will sit there, and become the charioteer for our life vehicle, just like lord krishna was there for arjun. When we reach this state, then there is no looking back and our boat will easily cross this ocean of samasara.

What a simple technique to easily cross this ocean of samasara. And it is very easy to do naam jap, one can chant the name of lord internally, also while he(she) is taking bath, eating food, while he(she) is travelling, while he(she) is sitting idle, or cooking food, or any other activity. There are no rules for doing naam jap. A person can do naam jap at any time with or without bath, whether he is healthy or unhealthy, no resrictions, no limits, no count nothing. simply start doing the naam jap. Slowly the mind gets habituated to the naam, there by the internal enemies will subside by themselves, because they are being ignored and there is no space or room left for them. The room in the heart is slowly being filled the naam. That is the power of naam, from where the radiance of the lord is reflected in the person doing the naam. 

Let everyone understand this by the blessing and grace of sainath. Let everyone participate more in the naam jap. Let everyone get benefitted and easily cross the ocean of samsara by the blessings of  sainath.

Whom does Baba like?


There are so many people thronging to the temples of sai baba. A question arises in the mind Whom does really baba like? Partially we get an answer when damu anna asked similar question that out of all the people who approach baba, do really everyone get benefitted. For which baba answered with the example of a mango tree. How good yield it would be if all the flowers are turned out to be fruits. But what is the reality, some are fallen during the initial state, and some more at later stages. And finally very few actually turn out to be the yield.
And in another scenario, baba told that whom he can call a disciple, he doesnt have any, if someone follows him like he has followed his guru, then he can consider him to be his disciple. And baba said that he doesnt have anyone whom he can really call his disciple.

Yet in another scenario, when somone asked a worldly desire, some one commented that when approaching a sadguru like saibaba, is it reasonable to ask for a worldly desire . For which baba answered that no one can come to him on their own, it is he who brings them to him on various reasons. And by initially fulfilling their desires, slowly put them on to the path where they reach a state where they ask for what baba wants to give them.

So basing on all what baba said under different scenarios, we can come to a conclusion that we going to baba is not by our own effort or idea, rather it is his mercy and his wish which is taking us to him. Now when we will come to a stage where baba likes us. It is so simple, when we can follow the footsteps shown by him having faith(shradhha) and saburi(patience). These two words are the total summary of what baba had spoken and lived all his life in shirdi.

So what needs to be learnt, what needs to be followed. We have a great encyclopedia namely sai charitra. We can refer to this encyclopedia for all our day to day activities, check how baba acted under those circumstances and we need to implement it in our life with utmost faith on baba and have patience till the end result comes, not the intermediary result. So faith on baba, faith on self when doing some work, and having patience till the end result comes.

The best example can be given with a homeopathic medicine scenario. In homeopathy any particular case, when given medicine for initially will show the symptoms of aggrevation, and later when we continue with faith in long run gives results which will completely cure the disease. Similar is the case when we try to follow the footsteps of baba, sometimes we feel that we are getting wrong results of implementing what baba said. But if we unbiasedly follow the footsteps of baba, defineltly the end result will be good for us. Actually we expect the result to be like what we expected, but baba will give us result which is good for us. There lies the difference why people leave baba in between is because when they are following the footsteps of baba they are not getting the results what they like. They are forgetting the base principle that baba knows more about us rather than what we know about us.

So we can conclude that baba really likes those who follow him with faith and patience and ask for what he wanted to give. Really one is blessed who can understand this and implement in their life.

Miracle Series - 2- What is the force which is protecting

Today morning a great thing happened. My wife in a hurry to leave for her school, forgot to switch off the stove. She was preparing dosas for all of us and she left the pan on the stove without switching off. My wife works as a teacher in a school where our kids study. Today they were having a picnic schedule conducted by the school. The principal asked her to report half hour early before the scheduled time. She was in a hurry to go to the school. Once they were ready I dropped them at school and returned back. Usually after dropping them at school, I will leave to my office.

Today after coming home, I was about to leave to my office, when I felt that I need to have a cloth to wipe my vehicle. So I was in search of a cloth, then when I found the cloth I it was too big, so again I started searching for the scissors, so that I can cut it appropirately to suit my requirements. Now in the process,I couldnt  find the scissors at the regular place, then searching for it went into the kitchen, when I saw that there were fumes coming from the pan on the stove. Immediately my attention diverted to the fumes and on seeing the stove to be on, immediately switched it off.

A question arised, who made me to stop for a cloth and then a scissor. Which force directed me to search for the scissor in the kitchen. If I wouldnt have stopped for the cloth or the scissor, I would have simply left for my office and the pan on the stove, what might have happened only Baba knows. Once I leave the house, I lock it and my wife has another key. My wife returns back with kids in the evening and me in the night. So there could have been a possibilty for a situation creating a fire accident. Thinking about the possible danger which have been narrowly escaped came out when I saw the picture of Baba. Now the answer came and immediately I understood which force stopped me and which force directed me. If it was not for baba, then the situation itself  is worst to imagine.

At the same time remembered the old story. wanted to share at this time. Once God appeared before man and asked him what do you want. The man asked that always you should be with me and I should be knowing it. so god promised him and told that along with your footprints on the path you travel, you will find my footprints also, indicating that I am always with you. so the man checked and was happy that god was with him in his travel of life journey. After some time, the man started facing troubles in his life and when he checked the footprints, there were only one pair of footprints instead of two. Everyone including his family could not support him in his troubles, he thought that even god has left him alone in his phase of troubles. After quite some time, when he had crossed the phase of troubles, one day he checked and found that again there were two pairs of foot prints. Then he prayed for god, who again appeared. Then man questioned god  "you have not kept up your promise and left me alone in my troubles, I have checked and there was only one pair of footprints".For which God answered, my child those footprints were mine, and I have been carrying you in my hands while you were facing troubles in your life, if not for me, you would have collapsed". The moral of the story is that from our dimension, we come to conclusions very easily.  From the dimension of man, just because he found only one pair of footprints, he thought that god had left him alone, like others. But whereas the actual fact is that those foot prints were of God and he was carrying the man in his difficult times. In this particular scenario, Baba had protected me and my family.  It was nothing but Baba carrying me in his hands in this particular incident. At the end a thought arises, what is human after all? Why all the ego that he is doing everything whereas the fact is he cant do anything and the inner force which is making him do anything is nothing but baba.

But when we have  Baba with us who is always taking care of us and protecting us, then where is the need to fear or worry. Words are less to explain the boundless motherly love of baba. The unforeseen hand of baba is always protecting us. Baba Thanks a lot for protecting me, my family and my neighbours today.  Koti Koti pranams at your lotus feet. I pray at your lotus feet seeking pardon for being careless. Please give enough strength, wisdom so that next time I perform any of the acts with proper care.What else can I do except praying at your lotus feet.

~ A small sand particle at your lotus feet.

Shri Sai Sahasranamam



Usually a person is identified with one name. But God is having either asthotaram or sahasra namam. Astotharam means 108 names. These are not simple names, they are the characterstics of that God. Every God will have these and one should perform puja by understanding these names and visualising the meaning of that name, then automatically bliss will be bestowed upon the person who is doing the puja. Now if somebody is not satisfied with the glory of God by simple 108 names (asthotaram), then they will go for sahasranamam. God is infinite and it is impossible to count the glories of god. In sanskrit sahasra means infinite. But for our satisfaction, since we cant sing the glory of God who is infinite, we take the count to be 1000 (thousand) and sing that many names. Among the Sahasra namams Vishnu sahasra namam and lalitha sahasra namam are the two most prominent ones which are sung by most of the people and which are considered to be wish-fulfilling stotrams. Those who sing them with faith and devotion  are blessed with what they are asking for. Since for a devotee his guru is the form of all Gods. singing the glory of guru is equivalent to singing the glory of a god. Guru is the one who fulfills all the desires of his disciples, it is must for a disciple to sing the glory of his guru. It will be much beneficial if one understands the meaning of each name and then sing the sahasranamam. One who sings with faith and devotion is blessed with blisss apart from the worldly desires and can sure get the blessings of Guru. Let everyone understand this with the blessings of Baba.
